A plane wave front AB propagating from denser medium (1) into a rarer medium (2) is incident on the surface P1P2 separating the two media as shown in fig.
Using Huygen’s principle, draw the secondary wavelets and obtain the refracted wave front in the diagram.

You have learnt in the text how Huygens’ principle leads to the laws of reflection and refraction. Use the same principle to deduce directly that a point object placed in front of a plane mirror produces a virtual image whose distance from the mirror is equal to the object distance from the mirror.
State Huygen’s principle.
Using this principle draw a diagram to show how a plane wave front incident at the interface of the two media gets refracted when it propagates from a rarer to a denser medium. Hence verify Snell's law of refraction.
Define the term wavefront. Using Huygen’s wave theory, verify the law of reflection.
Relation between ray and wavefront is ______.
What is the geometrical shape of the wavefront for:
- Light diverging from a point source?
- The pattern of wavefront of the light from a distant star intercepted by earth?
Is Huygen’s principle valid for longitudinal sound waves?
According to Huygens’s principle, the amplitude of secondary wavelets is ______.
Using Huygen’s wave theory of light, show that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Draw a neat and labelled diagram.
What type of wavefronts are associated with a point source of light?
